SPACES 2024
Series of photographs mounted on bent plexiglass.
"Here in the gallery we see works by Þórdís Jóhannesdóttir, which arise from her desire to document the spaces. And more than that: for Þórdís has spread out the moments of space, enlarged them, re-shaped them, and hence presents to us new and unexpected perspectives on a familiar environment. These are simple forms, according to the artist – a mixture of light and shadow on the margins of the manmade and the natural. Phenomena and events that are seen anywhere and anytime, that appear to be obvious to the artist, although people tend not to notice them.
Here is a space. And here is an opportunity to pay attention to everything in existence that goes unnoticed.
Here the framework of our days has been allowed to solidify. To crystallise. And perhaps even greyness may shine when seen in a new light."
